Proceeds from the Luncheon will fund The Council’s programs that help individuals and families affected by alcoholism, drug abuse, other addictions, and co-occurring mental health disorders.

During his tenure, he was a core part of the Astros lineup along with Craig Biggio and Lance Berkman, with fans and media dubbing them the “Killer B’s.” He was awarded the National League Rookie of the Year in 1991, the NL Most Valuable Player Award in 1994, and he was a four- time MLB All-Star. In 2017, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

    LEGENDS IN THE MLB COMMUNITY 2018 A Office of the Commissioner MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ROBERT D. MANFRED, JR. Commissioner of Baseball Dear Friends and Colleagues: Baseball is fortunate to occupy a special place in our culture, which presents invaluable opportunities to all of us. Major League Baseball’s 2018 Community Affairs Report demonstrates the breadth of our game’s efforts to make a difference for our fans and communities. The 30 Major League Clubs work tirelessly to entertain and to build teams worthy of fan support. Yet their missions go much deeper. Each Club aims to be a model corporate citizen that gives back to its community. Additionally, Major League Baseball is honored to support the important work of core partners such as Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Jackie Robinson Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer. We are proud to use our platform to lift spirits, to create legacies and to show young people that the magic of our great game is not limited to the field of play. As you will see in the pages that follow, MLB and its Clubs will always strive to make the most of the exceptional moments that we collectively share. Sincerely, Robert D. Manfred, Jr. Commissioner 245 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, NY 10167 (212) 931-7800 LEGENDS Jackie Robinson Day Major League Baseball commemorated the 70th anniversary of the legendary Hall of Famer breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947 with all players and on-field personnel again wearing Number 42.

  • A Long, Strange Trip to Cubs World Series
    A long, strange trip to Cubs World Series By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, October 28, 2016 The Cubs appear a thoroughly dominant team with no holes, and certainly no “Cubbie Occurrences,” in playing the Cleveland Indi- ans in the generations-delayed World Series. But, to steal the millionth time from a song- writer, what a long, strange trip is has been. Truth is stranger than fiction in the Cubs Universe. On my own 45-year path of watch- ing games and talking to the newsmakers at Wrigley Field, I have been a witness to: Burt Hooton slugged a grand-slam homer off Tom “Terrific” Seaver in an 18- 5 pounding of the New York Mets in 1972. Hillary Clinton throws out first ball at Wrigley Field in 1994. On my 19th birthday, May 27, 1974, lefty Ken “Failing” Frailing pitched a complete-game 15-hitter in a 12-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. A few weeks later, Rich Reuschel tossed a 12-hit shutout against the Lumber Com- pany Pittsburgh Pirates. In mid-Aug. 1974, the Dodgers had 24 hits by the sixth inning in an 18-8 victory over the Cubs. Apparently peeved, the Pirates in late 1975 racked up the most lopsided shutout in history, 22-0 over the Cubs. Reuschel started and gave up eight runs in the first. Brother Paul Reuschel mopped up in the ninth. Rennie Stennett went 7-for-7. Amazingly, less than a month previously, the Reuschels teamed for the only all- brother shutout in history in a 7-0 victory over the Dodgers (also witnessed here).
